There is a strange phenomenon that is happening to young women all across the world. The first symptoms of this condition usually show up around age 20 and last for the rest of your life. Something is happening to you and you just can't stop it: you are slowly becoming your mother.

Now don't fear, for a lot of women, this isn't a bad thing. We're all starting to slowly but surely turning into our moms. We start showing small behaviors that mimic our moms and it's a really weird thing when you start to notice them. Here are the 8 ways you are slowly turning into your mother.

1. You love wine.

You start having a glass every night at the exact same time. You feel the need to reward yourself for finishing your long and stressful day.

2. You worry about people far too much.

When you see a person riding a motorcycle with no helmet, all you can do is think about how dangerous that is. You also force your friends to text you when they make it home.

3. You love cookbooks and the Food Network.

You get more excited about finding a new recipe more than anything else. And you spend your weeknights watching Chopped.

4. You love grocery shopping.

You go grocery shopping at the same time every week and you spend hours there buying things like paprika and flour.

5. You take care of your friends.

If the forecast is under 75, you make sure they bring a light jacket and you probably bring snacks and refreshments for them during long activities.

6. You're starting to not understand the younger generation.

When you go on the popular page on Twitter, you don't understand half of the memes no matter how hard you try.

7. You go to bed at the same time every night.

And it's definitely before 11:00p.m.

8. Your celebrity crushes are all over 40 years old.

George Clooney is such a stud and you can't believe you didn't realize it sooner.

Embrace this change. It can be scary, but it is worth it. One day you will be as quirky, funny, and awesome as your mom is.
